Abstract
It is well known that the mechanical properties of pathological tissues vary from that of healthy tissue. However, there is a lack of quantitative methods for optically evaluating the mechanical behavior of tissues for diagnostic purposes. Herein, laser speckle methods for imaging the mechanical properties of tissues for medical diagnostics will be discussed.
